Do they make AFCI breakers in the "Thin Breaker" type? Can't find them anywhere on google so guessing no. Just found out about these (about 10 years late, lol) and would love to upgrade my breakers but I have those dang thin breakers. Any ideas?
 
If you have capacity, I wonder why they installed thin breakers which are normally only used when all the slots are full of standard sized ones. BUT, if you do have empty slots, just convert the thin breakers to the standard sized AFCI ones and shift the other breakers downward.

Nice, I didn't even think that could be done. I though the entire panel was designed for thin breakers. Didn't think normal size breakers would fit. Yeah doesn't make sense to me either because I still have 5 or 6 empty slots left in the box.
